Good game theory I guess

Got any concrete examples of this or nah?
Tons. I am not going through mafia logs (if they exist) to show how often it is true. That would require days if not weeks of pouring over previous games. Just to prove something that if you think about it is extremely logical and common sense.

Unless you think Apollo is such a good scum player that he would be smart enough to not fall into a typical scum response, he is most assuredly scum.

I know nothing about him but most mafia players are not extremely good at mafia, so I will assume he does not fall into the small sunset and is indeed scumm

And already, I'm nettled. I'm never supportive of a D1 kill.

Also hello! Sorry, got caught up in that Direct thread.


Ahhhh to be non supportive of no kill day1

Such naivete bring a tear to my eye

lmao

At worst day one kill takes out a low power townie or what not

At best a day one kill shifts the game to townie making a list of scum

BTW, Comrade is probably stubborn, hardheaded town. It is very unlikely unless Comrade is extremely bad at being scum that he is scum because he is hard defending Apollo right now through misdirecting and attempting to backdoor debase via asking for handholding and data which likely does not even exist to follow a logical thought process and conclusion.

Hard headed, stubborn town feel the need to assert that someone cannot make a proper read because it does not follow their own thought processes. They refuse to grow as players and instead to try and fit the game into their own mold as they see it. Thus, they miss reads because refusal to believe them without it being completely outright exposed.

I doubt comrade is linking himself so hard to defending scum right now as scum. Likely town.

Yeah, but we know Scum kill either way. We don't know what power roles are in the game, but it's safe to say there are standard wolves/mafia equivalents here & they'll probably get to kill someone that is a villager at a minimum, or power role at the max.

It comes across as a pro-Scum move to me, even if the voter might not see it that way.

Is comrade representative of the level of play I should expect from this forum?

That would be disappointing.

Honestly, I can't remember anyone with his specific form of aggressive play style. Accusatory, yes, but not at this frequency or intensity.

This is definitely going to be an interesting one!

There's also the argument that the revealing of my role could impact what target scum will choose to kill/mislynch, furthering their goals. Playing to win is usually a rule of mafia, and my claiming would do nothing to help town- it would instead only satisfying your desire to know whatever role I have. My role claiming at this stage of the game, I would be breaking a fundamental rule of mafia. Needless to say, I won't be obliging your request.
Claiming your role is beneficial to scum and helps them and would hurt town is a town power soft claim.

Takes very little reading between the lines.

I said that my claiming could inform scum's decision making- thus holds true regardless of whether I'd claimed power or vanilla. In your effort to paint me as scum, you've completely misconstrued what I plainly said. Before you try trading between the lines, go ahead and actually read the lines themselves.

It can only inform scum's decision making if you are Town Power.

If I'm vanilla, scum knows not to target me- for either a kill or a mislynch (at this stage of the game at least).

Town Doctor or Town Cop would fake claim Town Vanilla if forced to claim early.

Like... Are you even being serious right now?

I am being serious. And would they? In my experience playing mafia on GAF and Era, I don't think I've encountered that situation. Also, your attempt to get me to claim =/= me being forced to claim, so that's irrelevant at this point anyway.

Uh, yes? A vanilla claim means nothing to scum as far as decision making. You are still possibly power. A town power claim is all that informs their decision.


How many games have you played previously?

At least 8? That's just off of if the top of my head. I've played plenty.

what is scum and what is vanilla? still learning these crazy terms
Scum is the mafia team. The people you want to Lynch.

Vanilla is town without powers.

You just claimed Town Power btw with your post. Thanks for the claim. Your role pm would have said what Vanilla was if you got it. And you would have asked your scum team that question if scum.
